I have received the 2 x 95mm stroke cranks. I am going to build a new bottom end for my engine using one of them. I will use the exact same supporting parts ( head, turbo, cams, exhaust etc etc ) as on my current RB30/25. This way I can do a back to back comparison between the two engines ( apples to apples ) and overlay the two dyno charts. By doing this there will be something to compare the stroker crank setup to, as opposed to just building a completely new engine and having no base as a comparison.

I am just waiting on the new rods to go with the cranks and I can start the build.

Ill post up some pics of the cranks soon.

are the cranks balanced? or knife edged like the other stroker cranks?

sounds very intresting, hope it goes smooth the build up and has some nice improvments throughout the power range.

what sort of price is this kit?

I've been playing around with an engine dyno/ calculator simulator and its calculated roughly a before and after figures of horse power torque etc with the stroker crank

(as long as i have had all of the motors figures including flow figures at each measured level, i have gotten very similar to what has been acheived on a real dyno -/+ 1-3hp)

all 4 have exactly the same specs as you will see, though what is not shown is both have a 64cc in combustion chamber, 10cc piston dome, 4cc valve releif in piston and a flush deck height

this is not a garanteed before and after power results with the stroker crank but a simulation/ comparasion of what results may be expected with only change in stroke, results will vary depending on supporting internal and external componants

Non-Turbo

i have also added a turbo set up, everthing is still exactly the same, just with a turbo of which i chose from a drop down menu in the program. I am also aware that different turbos and supporting mods will change the end results

Turbo

Be interesting to see what numbers that program gives for a 3L and then overlay the power/torque curves on the same graph, give a nice visual representation of where in the rev range the gains will be had.

I will be assembling the new stroker bottom end soon. The custom rods arrived today

This will be run on my exact same setup that I have used with the 3.0L bottom end. Same turbo, head, comp ratio, cams, exhaust, etc etc

So I will be able to overlay my previous setup compared with the stroker engine ( ie dyno power and torque curves )

So a straight up comparison will be available.

Trial cranks due next week

So looks like these are not full counter weighted (assume the pic is of the 95mm stroker crank) I would have thought if you were going to the effort of building a custom crank it would be fully counter weighted?

Would the 95mm stroke generate more harmonics and having it full counter weighted might help reduce some of this? I am not an engine builder or engineer so just putting this out there for others more in the know to reply with more logical info.

Love the idea :) of a 3.4l hmm if my RB26DE powered 260z (shell still in bits) does not cut it looks like I might have to consider installing one of these stroker crank like this into a RB30 bottom end and slap on my 26 head for 3.4L of NA power

Yeah I was going to say how did you do all the calculations for the size and shape of the counter weights and balance it?

As these are the trial / prototype cranks we just copied the std crank. The std crank does a terrific job and sees 10000 rpm in serious drag engines. Why reinvent the wheel. Having said that - if I have any dramas with these cranks its an easy job to have the next version redrawn into full counter weight cranks.

I have had the cranks checked and balanced here in Oz - all good.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
